I haven’t done many collabs, but I’ve been super happy with the ones I did. Now I didn’t get to meet up with Bookmore in person, but I was super glad to get to work with Tom. He’s not currently active on his channel, but hopefully once he’s had a chance to get settled in where he is, he’ll find some time to wind up the crafting machine again.

While I was quite happy with my wallet, Toms’ just blew mine out of the water. I could tell there was a LOT of work that went into it. You can see his here:

Ok, so this isn’t a ‘new’ craft that I’ve made, but I’ve decided to play a touch of catch up for some of the crafting videos I’ve made since I last posted here. I hope that’s ok with y’all. I made this video almost 2 years ago (man how time flies) and I can see a HUGE improvement in the quality of my videos. But you’ve got to start somewhere I’ve been told, and I see what they mean. The video is for my DIY Minecraft Creeper plush, and I think I went about it in the longest way possible.

First you need about a billion pieces, and then sew them all together. Ok, so maybe not a billion, but you definitely need way more little bitty pieces than is realistically necessary. I’ve often meant to go back and do a simpler version of this. As a matter of fact, I think I’ll go slap that on the TODO list right now.

Done.

Ok, on with the video! Hope you enjoy!

Lego Dimensions Case

Has it really been almost 3 years since I added content here? Crazyness. Amazing how time flies. Well time to get this party re-started!

I’ve recently started playing the latest game in the series of Lego games, LEGO Dimensions.

It’s incredibly fun, and I’ve been collecting all of the figurines as they’ve come out, which left me with the issue of figuring out a way to store all of them.

To solve this, I designed a case that I think fits the bill.

It takes a couple hours from start to finish to build (excluding painting.. which takes a few hours on its own) but for me it’s totally worth it. I end up with a handy way to store all my Lego characters, and it looks pretty cool too.

Pattern is available here

TARDIS Sewing Box!

Up until now I have been making videos of crafts that were inspired by others, and then engineered by myself. Or at least were heavily influenced by an existing thing. My chewbacca domo for example while being a completely original design, was still based on an existing stuffed domo.

That’s changed with my TARDIS sewing box. I’ve been fighting with a way to keep all of my sewing gear in the same spot, and I have looked at all kinds of different places to find something that didn’t look like it was made for an old lady who really enjoyed floral patterns.

After months of fruitless searching, I had still found nothing. But I’m a DIY guy. I got this.. but the question was “what should I make?”. So many options to choose from, what should I do?

Inspiration hit when I was at my sisters. What seems like forever ago, I had made her a case for her Barbies out of plastic canvas. It’s after I saw that, that I decided to make a TARDIS.

So I sat down and started designing. And designing. And then some more desigining. But eventually I had a pattern to work from:

A mere 43 hours later (over several days) I had myself my very own TARDIS!

Sadly it isn’t bigger on the inside, but it is big enough to hold my scissors, and pretty much any other sewing essentials I’ll need to travel with. The only real down side is that it’s actually pretty large.. so it isn’t quite as portable as I’d like, but I’m still pretty happy with the way it turned out.

It was christmas of 88′ and I opened a video game that will have such a profound impact on me that will not only define the type of games I play, but will still be enjoyable 24 years later. That game was Final Fantasy.

I had seen it advertised in Nintendo Power during the year, and had asked my parents for it as soon as I saw ads for it. Unfortunately my young self made the (sadly incorrect) assumption that since there was 4 characters on the left, that naturally I would be able to play with 3 of my friends. Assuming I could find 3 friends to play Nintendo with me that was.
